  | Lexus LS 460 performance numbers disappoint  The Lexus LS 460 fell short of its claimed 0-60 mph time of 5.4 seconds in a road test in the latest issue of Car and Driver magazine. The C&D testers couldn't get the car to complete the sprint in any less than 6.0 seconds. Braking distances were also unusually long. The car took 209 feet to come to a stop from 70 mph, the magazine said. That's nearly the same as the GMC Seirra's 210 foot braking distance. The new Mercedes S-Class, by comparison, takes 172 feet to stop from the same speed. Source: Leftlane

| Re: Lexus LS 460 performance numbers disappoint I'm not an apologist for Toyota, but my guess is that this was due to the preproduction specimen. |

| Re: Lexus LS 460 performance numbers disappoint Lexus/Toyota are the brand of lies and deceit , it won't take long even for people with limited IQ to realize that.
